One canvas workflow rocks!

Jakub’s new one canvas workflow is totally awesome!

Making various sizes of icons is now a hundred times less frustrating. Especially because [1] Inkscape launches a new instance every time you open an icon, so you can’t copy and paste between windows. [2] the icon directory is a maze when you want to find icons [3] And… whatever, I’ll never have to deal with all  that ever again!

Ubuntu icon theme

Another update:

Version 0.0.5 is now available here.

Update:

Thanks everyone for the positive repsonses! I’ve never thought this theme to be this popular.

Unfortunately there is not a very big chance this will be the default theme in Ubuntu, but I will do my best to get it in as an alternative set. :)

Recently I switched from openSUSE to Ubuntu, no regrets until now, only positive things! openSUSE has let me down for some time now (package management and speed being the main reasons) and I found what I needed in Ubuntu 7.10.
There is one thing that annoys me, and that’s Ubuntu’s default look, openSUSE looks great from the start. Now Lapo did a great job on the Tangerine icons, but they were still a bit too “dark” for my taste. So I thought why not try to make a theme myself?

Some idea’s I came up with what the theme should be about, without losing the “Ubuntu Feel” : Jungle, Safari, Survival, Classical.

You can download a small preview, just extract the file in ~/.icons and select the Discovery icon theme in the theme manager. The icons are under CC-by-SA (except some leftover Tangerine files you may find in there).
